acreopa : spider
The Illunse word for spider is acreopa. In Old English similar word ácréopian means to creep, crawl.
This word is a mixture of the Old English word for spider which is átorcoppe (spider, literally seems to mean posion-spider), and the Latin word for spider which is aranea (spider, spider's web) or araneus (spider, of a spider).
In Old English words lobbe and loppe also translate to spider. A weaver as he goes, which I assume is a type of spider, is a gangewifre.
